I've always wanted to know how to do this. It happens a lot here at work that things are named with numbers consecutively. And I often need to do this:
cp graphic_1.gif graphic_text_1.gif for each graphic numbered 1 through 20, for example. I know I can do a bash thing on the command line: for i in graphic_* ; do something with $1 ; done But is there a way to do something like this?: for i in [1-20] ; do cp graphic_$1.gif graphic_text_$1.gif ; done It doesn't work but it seems like there should be an easy way to set up a range like that.
